Million Dollar EQs!

The Focusrite Forte Suite is a channel strip plug-in (TDM, RTAS) for Pro Tools based on the now legendary Focusrite Forte recording console of the mid-80s (original price for Forte console: $1.5 million).

These modules comprise a host of powerful vintage processing blocks, including the original six-band EQ, compressor, gate and expander. In addition the plug-in is scalable, including a complete channel strip, a stereo version of each module as well as a variety of set-ups for 5.1 processing, all supporting TDM, RTAS and Audio Suite formats.

Forte Suite's clean and well-organized user interface has been designed to capture exactly the look of these vintage classics, vertically racked within a mahogany case. The control sets for all the modules are an exact replication of the originals, from frequency selection to side-chain and insert functionality - no dial has been left unturned. In addition, graphical representations of every processing block complement the hardware, aiding in both the operation and visualization of each.

Focusrite d2 and d3 rewrote the 'rule book' for plug-ins and provide precise models of the Red Series signature sound while introducing the simple but novel concept of the GUI representing the original front panel. A concept subsequently imitated by countless others. Focusrite chose to keep these plug-ins exclusive to the Pro Tools platform, as only Pro Tools|HD Accel systems have the power to accurately represent the originals. Focusrite has chosen to continue this precedence with Forte, taking full advantage of the awesome power of Pro Tools|HD Accel, and it's 192kHz-processing capabilities.

With Forte Suite, Focusrite is once again rewriting the rules and setting a new standard for vintage plug-in technology.
